If you've really been working on a startup in your free time from your regular job then you'll be painfully aware that this is true. Every friday, I try to plan a well balanced weekend so that my willpower to work on my startup is kept topped up after my regular job workweek. I do this by: 1. Planning for one activity during the weekend which I absolutely love to do: kiteboarding or watching football. Its usually good to have this on sunday so that you look forward to it during friday night and saturday. (Yes I've stopped going out on friday night.) 2. Recapping who my most likely paying customers are going to be. And writing out a list of bugs and features that I will work on to be able to acoomodate those users. 3. A list of UI (simple) and fun features which I can do when I start to get tired working. The system seems to work but is not procrastination-proof. I think I still need to add: 1. A well stocked fridge. 2. A little more face time with my friends. (This is a great willpower rejuvenator.) 3. More time in the gym. Right now this is at 0.
